Bring selected Google Drive content into Pickit.
Make material from personal and shared Drives available to employees or partners in a Pickit library. Keep Drive as the source and bring the selected content together where your audience can find it.
How the Drive connection works
- Direction
- Selected personal or shared Google Drive content → Pickit.
- Output
- Downloadable files are imported; Google-native document entries link to the original.
- Execution
- Run once or configure recurring jobs. Processing runs through an open, signed-in Pickit browser session with the relevant connection active.
Setup & practical details
- Requirements
- Pickit administrator access, the Drive integration enabled and a Google account authorized for the selected source.
From Drive folders to useful content.
Choose the content your audience needs.
Browse or search personal and shared drives, then select the files and folders to import.
Connect a Google account with source access and choose a Pickit library or collection for the selection. Start with a defined set, such as campaign images or sales documents.
Copied files and linked Google documents.
Images and other downloadable files can be copied into Pickit while their originals stay maintained in Drive.
Google-native documents appear in Pickit with a link that opens the original in Google. Users need both access to the material in Pickit and permission to the original in Google.
Update imports and retire old material.
Later imports can add new files and refresh names and file content when the originals change. Assign someone to run imports and maintain the connection.
Deleting a source file in Drive does not automatically remove its Pickit entry. Retire that entry separately when the material should no longer be used. Copies already downloaded or inserted elsewhere do not update when Pickit changes.
A few useful answers.
Is this the Google Slides and Docs add-on?
This page covers Drive as a content source. Use the separate Workspace add-on to find and insert Pickit images in Slides and Docs.
Where should we edit connected files?
Choose Drive as the source for files you maintain there, then use the import job to bring updates into Pickit. Avoid parallel edits without a clear owner and update process.
Does Drive sharing become our Pickit access policy?
Configure the Pickit audience explicitly. For Google-native documents that open the Drive original, users also need permission to that original in Google.
